Hello,

Just thought I would post my new look rear on my Roo. Hope you all like it, only took over 9 weeks from Aus !! I suspect this will be my final cosmetic mod.

Also a picture from last weekends Modified Nationals Show in Peterborough. I will also be showing at the Yorkshire car show next Sunday, just incase URL is http://yorkshiremodifiedcarshow.theev

Before:


After:

Just a brief random comment. The two girls in that pic are working with Red Dragon Styling, a "tidy" firm based in Carmarthen in west Wales. I just happen to know them cos they're local... got a few like that round here
Just out of interest, how much was the wing? I fancy one myself, though I'd love to find one like the Irmscher item on the Astra Coupe.

Now I might be going daft,
but besides the angle the photo is taken at - where is the difference between the before & after shoots?

Yep, your going daft - two differences, main one the HSV black lights and the other (not a biggie) is the CV8 badge.

Car rear end looks good Steven.

Maybe your mum was comparing the classy look of the car with the rear ends in front of it!!

Will see you soon for a close up.

No, I think that comment would have been true even if the car was that chavved up Monaro from last weeks thread.

settle petal!!! nout wrong with a bit of passionate colonial contribution - don't forget the one thing that unites you soap-dodgers on this forum is the love of the Oz V8's!

BTW, for the record.. (no offence to the earlier post from the bloke that knows the gals in the pic) the trotter on the left aint too shabby in the bod but the one on the right.... frankly I've seen better legs on a billiard table!

Maybe I should have written - 'he's Australian - like our cars - and we like them as well!'

No offence meant - we are all here cos we love the Monaro and it's brashness!!
